Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’ll stay with the Twins I suppose. Ober has done pretty well over his last three starts. In that trio he’s 2-1 with five earned runs in 21.0 innings combined. As for Crochet, he’s got five earned runs over 7.0 innings in a pair of losses during his last two outings.

On Friday the Twins really broke the Game open in the eighth, notching six runs in that frame alone. The pitching staff was also great; the pen provided 2.2 innings with no hits, no walks and four Ks. I like the Twins to keep it rolling Saturday.
